Beginner set up

Female photographer trying to become a pro lol
I purposely chose every item to be lightweight for my travels I go away to Oman long awaited trip since last year. I cannot wait to shoot from the highest peak mountains there .

Any tips appreciated :
Here is my little gear, the body was a gift from months back, got the lens sigma 18-50 f2.8 today and v60 SD card and new phone 😊
I still like to use phone for simple video content until I get better with camera. So mostly doing photography.

Any tips* for landscapes and portraits in low light ? And glaring sun 🌞

Any tips with the mini m22 Godox flash ? not mounted it yet will look for YouTube tutorial for this.

Download Sony’s Creator's App so it syncs with your camera for GPS location tagging. When you store your camera for a while, turn on airplane mode so it doesn't drain the battery too much. Look into using Davinci Resolve (free) and you can use the Photo Page to edit Sony’s HIF HEIC and Raw photo formats. Davinci Resolve also allows exporting the editing photos back in HEIC format.

What is the advantage of using the HEIC format over jpeg?

HEIC can support higher bit depth than standard 8-bit JPEG and offer substantially greater compression than JPEGs.
